And to go along with your militant stance in defense of Israel.....US KIA Afghanistan.....2175....US KIA Iraq....4475 along with more than 50,000 wounded. That's a lot to lose in an all volunteer force in a nation whose birth rate is the lowest in recent years and recruitment numbers continue to fall short of full manpower requirements  . And what did it get us? Neither one has ever been receptive to a western  style democratic government. Perhaps now you see why when it comes to defending Israel the US level of military support might not be at the levels one might expect especially how you are always hollering about government spending .</blockquote>
